HOW YOUCAN HELP

adopt a new friend

We work hard to make sure that we take care of all of our pets here at Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter. But, unfortunately we can't do it without people like you and your donations of time and money. So, if you ever feel like you want to be a part of our family and help some of the best animals around, check us out.

The Stephen Memorial Animal Shelter, located in Oskaloosa, IA, cares for almost 1,000 stray, abandoned, abused, and otherwise homeless animals every year. We serve all of Mahaska County, IA for animal control, pet adoptions, and humane education within the community.

We know you've always wanted a dog, cat, bunny, or other awesome animal. And now's the time, friends! We are here to help you get ready for your new family member as soon as you're ready to take the big plunge. Owning an animal is, after all, one of the most gratifying things you can do.
